There's probably zero chance of this coming west anytime soon (we don't even have the sequel or the other pair of Buster spinoffs), but Yo-Kai Sangokushi looks amazing. It's an amalgam of the cast of the series proper and the tact... read

After months of radio silence, Nintendo has announced that Yo-Kai Watch is coming to Europe on April 29. Evidently this delay was to gear up for a huge marketing push, as well as an anime release, which will start slightly before the l... read

When I was in Japan, Yo-Kai Watch was everywhere. Ads, merchandise, and even general chatter from locals was abound, and that massive impact doesn't seem to be slowing down at all for Level-5. It has just announced a third film, which ... read

I was just thinking recently about how quiet Level-5 has been with Ni no Kuni since 2013's Wrath of the White Witch and, well, there's that. During the PlayStation Experience, Namco Bandai (its international publisher) announced a follow u... read

Jibanyan, one of Yo-Kai Watch's most popular mascots, has quite a sad tale to tell when players meet him in the game. He was once the loving companion of his owner, a girl named Amy, before he got run over by a truck and turned into a Yo-Ka... read

Over the course of the last month, I've gone from knowing next to nothing about Yo-Kai Watch to falling in love with it. My wife and I watch the localized version of the show, I have the theme song stuck in my head perpetually, and I'm... read

I'm enjoying the Yo-Kai Watch anime more than I thought I would. The dub is actually pretty good (it helps that the always talented Johnny Yong Bosch is voicing Nate), and the localization team kept in a lot of the spirit of the ... read
